Before the rain cancelled the end of classes on Saturday, McKayla Langmeier, from East Granby, CT, piloted Khaki Run LLC's Castelli to championship honors in the Equestrian Sotheby's International Reality Small Junior Hunter 15 and Under. Castelli won both over fences classes the first day and was second in both over fences classes on Saturday. "He [Castelli] is so much fun to catch ride! I'm thankful that I get to ride him," Langmeier said.

Finishing the day as reserve champions was Eloise, ridden and owned by Stella Styslinger. The duo finished first and third over fences, combined with a second place finish in the under saddle. Styslinger was also awarded the owner/rider championship in the division.

Langmeier started riding Castelli during WEF 4 and has enjoyed getting to show him in the Small Junior Hunters. When talking about Castelli, Langmeier said, "He [Castelli] has a really big stride and is really brave."

A highlight for Castelli this week was his winning handy round. "He's a blast in the handy. I can do any inside turn I want, and I know he will stay with me," Langmeier noted.

When Langmeier isn't competing with Castelli in the hunters, she also shows in the Junior Jumpers and 3'6" equitation. "Showing in the hunters helps me stay smooth when I'm showing in other divisions," Langmeier said.
